One of my favorite writing instructors (and author), is Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones, and Long Quiet Highway, just to name a couple of her books. Here’s a quote from her:

“Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important.”

So this week, pay attention to the false urgencies in your life - the unimportant things that take on the face of life-or-death importance. What happens when you remove that sense of emergency and face things calmly and rationally?
